Voting to decide who will be the next US president has now finished.

The polls have closed and the votes are being counted.

Currently, Donald Trump has won some important states and has declared victory in a speech in Florida - although he hasn't officially won yet.

Results are declared state-by-state and while many have been announced, there are still some key states to go.

We'll keep you updated as the results continue to come in.

Donald Trump has spoken on stage at his campaign headquarters in Florida to crowds of supporters chanting: "We want Trump! We want Trump!"

While he hasn't officially won the election yet, he has won some key swing states and Kamala Harris has cancelled her election night speech.

Trump thanked his supporters and declared victory, saying:

"We made history for a reason tonight. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible.

"This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again."

Even though Trump has declared victory, he has not yet achieved the official required electoral college votes.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is among world leaders sending their congratulations to Donald Trump. He said:

"Congratulations President-elect on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead."

Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelenskyy also congratulated Trump on his "impressive election victory," adding "we look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership."

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "history's greatest comeback".

There are two political parties in the United States - the Democrats and the Republicans.

Each state is assigned a certain number of votes known as electoral college votes.

There are 538 electoral college votes in total, so a candidate needs to win at least 270 votes to become the next president.

Because of the way the electoral college works, some US states have more influence over the outcome of the election than others.

These states are called swing states - so called because they often "swing" between voting for the Republicans and the Democrats.

Presidential candidates will spend much of their time campaigning in swing states, as these states could decide the election for them.
